"Let's Talk About It..."

Exploring the American West...
Whose West?

The American West offers not one story, but many. Together as we
read these books, we will examine some of those stories--violent or
nostalgic, tragic or heroic. This series will offer us a way of
exploring a more honest creation myth, a story truly shared.

All programs are Mondays at 7 p.m. in the Hayden H. Jones
Auditorium.

August 25--The Legacy of Conquest: The
Unbroken Past of the American West by Patricial Nelson
Limerick. Speaker: Willie Nelms, Sheppard Memorial Library,
retired.

September 15--Angle of Repose by
Wallace Stegnar. Speaker: Tom Douglass, East Carolina
University.

This project is made possible by a grant from the
North Carolina
Humanities Council, a statewide non-profit and affiliate
of the National Endowment for the Humanities, in partnership with
the North Carolina Center for the Book, a program of the State
Library of North Carolina, and is sponsored by the Friends of the New
Bern-Craven County Public Library.
